    Willing to throw my hat into the ring here and say that I haven’t even bought it yet because I know my pc can’t handle it. I will wait for performance patches (or look at finally upgrading my 5 year old pc)

    I also think they’ve done everything right. They called it out BEFORE release, but released anyway for the subset of players who can play, with the promise of improving it for the rest.

    The ones who can play it got lucky, the ones who can’t and are all pissed about it are the same ones who would be bitching if it got delayed.

    Lol, honestly I’m already deeper down this rabbit hole than I ever thought I’d be.

    So far as I can tell, Kbin doesn’t provide a way to specify alt text on embedded images at all. You can attach an image to the post using the GUI, and specify alt text that way, but it will always be at the end of the post, and you can only have 1. Not ideal.

    Re: Syntax support. There’s no official spec for markdown, but there is a canonical syntax guide which describes the format I’m suggesting. You’re correct that it’s not very widely supported in implementation though.

    I think I created confusion on that ticket by talking about the codeberg.org implementation, which does support the suggested syntax, by populating the title attribute. I wasn’t necessarily suggesting it as a solution, and it sounds like that’s not a great implementation anyway.

    I created even more confusion by talking about a plugin that sighted devs or testers could use to see alt text, and gave a few examples of elements to look at. None of that is really relevant.

    I did try to clarify as a comment on the parent post here if you’re interested.

    Hi, I’ve tried to clarify on the ticket, but I’ll post it here as well. Please note this is specifically for Kbin, not Lemmy.

    what they are trying to post

    This is applicable to anywhere markdown text is supported. Mostly thread text, and comments.

    is a URL to an image or an uploaded image

    I’ve only tried externally hosted images (URL)

    markdown by hand

    Yes, this is specifically about supporting hand written markdown. There are two variants:

    A) ![alt text here](url)
    B) ![alt text here](url "label")

    This ticket is both a bug report:
    neither variant actually populates the alt text html attribute

    And a feature request:
    Support variant B) above in some way to allow more meaningful alt text

    Example rendered currently:
    A) ![alt text here](url)

    <span>
  <i></i>
  alt text here
</span>
<div>
  <div>
    
  </div>
</div>

    This format should at least populate the alt attribute

    B) ![alt text here](url "label")

    Currently renders exactly the same as A) with the "label" being completely stripped out.

    There are two possibilities for this format:

    Either 1)

    ...
  label
...

    Or 2)

    ...
  alt text here
...
    1. is more technically correct, but 2) is closer to existing functionality
